So life has been at it again and even though if you asked me what I do all day, and I couldn't really tell you, it seems like things have gotten busier when in reality, I'm sure things have chilled out but pregnancy brain has magnified my emotions and an overdue library book or a medical bill seems like world crisis and I just want to stick my head in the sand.
I mentioned in the last post that life kept throwing us fun stuff despite the pregnancy announcement, so I guess I'll go back and elaborate.
After Michael left and I started getting sick before and during work and needed to get someone to cover my shift a couple of times. That added with the very strict time-off policy, and I wasn't in the best place for scheduling. There was a lot if drama involved but more importantly, the girl I was a guide for, would be graduating soon and I took that opportunity to put in my 2 weeks notice. She graduated and I left on a great note with a deep love for the girls and the wonderful support they have at The Journey True Path program.
Since the beginning of the year, I'd only been working part time so my day to day schedule hasn't changed much. But now I have a different mindset in terms of what my priorities *should* be at home. I've got a huge list of things I want to do (like clearing out our stuff and getting her nursery ready and getting all the baby gear we need- yikes!) , but we'll see how much actually gets done.
As far as cravings, I have been craving everything citrus. Lemon drops are a particular favorite. And sour gummy worms. And sour jelly beans. And the funny part? I never liked sour candies that much before this. When my brother Scotty and I used to take piano lessons, our teacher would give us music money for practicing and stuff, and Scotty would use his to buy warheads and would dare me to just take a lick. I wouldn't because I couldn't and then Michael mentioned warheads and I suddenly wanted some! Aaaanyways, I also drink a lot of orange juice, especially for breakfast because it also tastes the same coming back up :P
Finally, I just wanted to say that I've had a bit of a rough week emotionally. Some stuff happened that made me take a long look at life and my marriage and my perspective on things and I have to say that no matter what happens in life, I am grateful for my marriage in the temple, my husband and that we can be together forever. Knowing that, helps put me in the mindset that no matter how hard life gets, or how crazy the trials we face become, we have our entire lives to work on it and that we get to be together for eternity. I am so excited and a little scared to bring this little baby into our family, but I know that with the Lord's help, we will make it.
Here I was today after church at 15 weeks.
